Synopsis¶
Fetches details about one or multiple Alarm resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Lists the alarms for the specified compartment. For more information, see Listing Alarms. For important limits information, see Limits on Monitoring.
This call is subject to a Monitoring limit that applies to the total number of requests across all alarm operations. Monitoring might throttle this call to reject an otherwise valid request when the total rate of alarm operations exceeds 10 requests, or transactions, per second (TPS) for a given tenancy.
If alarm_id is specified, the details of a single Alarm will be returned.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Sample:
ocid1.metriccompartment.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx
|
||
metric_compartment_id_in_subtree
boolean
|
on success |
When true, the alarm evaluates metrics from all compartments and subcompartments. The parameter can only be set to true when metricCompartmentId is the tenancy OCID (the tenancy is the root compartment). A true value requires the user to have tenancy-level permissions. If this requirement is not met, then the call is rejected. When false, the alarm evaluates metrics from only the compartment specified in metricCompartmentId. Default is false.
Example: `true`
Returned for get operation
Sample:

||
pending_duration
string
|
on success |
The period of time that the condition defined in the alarm must persist before the alarm state changes from "OK" to "FIRING". For example, a value of 5 minutes means that the alarm must persist in breaching the condition for five minutes before the alarm updates its state to "FIRING".
The duration is specified as a string in ISO 8601 format (`PT10M` for ten minutes or `PT1H` for one hour). Minimum: PT1M. Maximum: PT1H. Default: PT1M.
Under the default value of PT1M, the first evaluation that breaches the alarm updates the state to "FIRING".
The alarm updates its status to "OK" when the breaching condition has been clear for the most recent minute.
Example: `PT5M`
Returned for get operation
Sample:
pending_duration_example
|
||
query
string
|
on success |
The Monitoring Query Language (MQL) expression to evaluate for the alarm. The Alarms feature of the Monitoring service interprets results for each returned time series as Boolean values, where zero represents false and a non-zero value represents true. A true value means that the trigger rule condition has been met. The query must specify a metric, statistic, interval, and trigger rule (threshold or absence). Supported values for interval depend on the specified time range. More interval values are supported for smaller time ranges. You can optionally specify dimensions and grouping functions. Supported grouping functions: `grouping()`, `groupBy()`. For information about writing MQL expressions, see Editing the MQL Expression for a Query. For details about MQL, see L(Monitoring Query Language (MQL) Reference,https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Monitoring/Reference/mql.htm). For available dimensions, review the metric definition for the supported service. See Supported Services.
Example of threshold alarm:
-----
CpuUtilization[1m]{availabilityDomain="cumS:PHX-AD-1"}.groupBy(availabilityDomain).percentile(0.9) > 85
-----
Example of absence alarm:
-----
CpuUtilization[1m]{availabilityDomain="cumS:PHX-AD-1"}.absent()
-----

Default value: null (notifications are not re-submitted).
Example: `PT2H`
Returned for get operation
Sample:
repeat_notification_duration_example
